Abstract
The STS-PROM and preoperative regression models are useful for preoperative prediction of costs and length of stay for groups of patients, case-mix adjustment in hospital benchmarking, and pay for performance measures. The combined preoperative and postoperative models identify incremental costs and length of stay associated with adverse events and are more suitable for prioritizing quality improvement efforts.
